Neal at her address of record as the party injured by the violation giving rise to the sanction. 3. Woodson shall not communicate directly with defense counsel without the prior approval of the Court, except he may send correspondence necessary to propound or respond to legitimate and appropriate discovery requests. 4. Under no circumstances shall Woodson transmit any materials of a sexual, explicit, or pornographic nature to any attorney or party in this action or request such materials from any party or attorney.
